 Daniela Mercury
Daniela Mercury is yet another Brazilian superstar from Salvador, Bahia, a city steeped in Afro-Brazilian traditions which has also produced Caetano Veloso, Maria Bethânia, Olodum and Gilberto Gil.
Several tracks were produced by Mercury, three of hers and two of Carlinhos Brown's ("Bora Morar"); the rest by Ramiro Musotto, Celso Fonseca, Marcelo Sussekind ("Um Tempo De Paixâo," a ballad with a funk rhythm section) or Leony ("Janela").
Mercury does nail some of the tunes (Brown's "Covered Saints"), and "Areomoça" has a breezy piano-led arrangement, but I suspect her next genre venture will go better.
